Update 1/20/2021 No longer just for schools, this free, sponsor-supported service is a good option to have on your child's tablet. Just note that he/she might see a short promo for a Netflix video (so some videos serve as a gateway to highly commercial content). It is no longer subscription based. [Original review from 2015] This subscription-based video streaming service designed primarily for schools. First you search (by browsing or by keyword) for a short video from a variety of sources. Each is designed to get kids out of their seats and moving. The three-to-five minute movement videos are ideal for a teacher with a few minutes to kill between classes or before the announcements. Some videos incorporate math, language arts and science; and they can work at home, too. You can run with an Olympian, have a dance party with Zumba Kids, get silly with Koo Koo Kanga Roo, or take a moment to reflect with Flow. There's running, jumping, dancing, stretching, and practicing mindfulness. The videos are paid for by sponsors which include Children's Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee and Passport Health Plan. GoNoodle launched in 2013. An Apple TV version was released in the Fall of 2015.
